Horton was on the street when we signed him for a reason...

A big part of that was that we geared heavily against the pass this offseason and Horton was primarily a run defender.

Then suddenly we look like crap against the run. We bring Horton back, and against a team with a strong run game we... deactivate him :thinking:

it really is starting to feel like Rivera and company are just floundering right now.

I see what you’re saying but the point I was trying to make is at this point in his career he’s just not that good anymore. He couldn’t make it with the Aints and then no teams came calling for several months until we brought him back. If he still was strong against the run, there’d be a market for him. I love what Horton brought in his years here before, as an UDFA, but I don’t think he has much left.

I can understand that. To be fair though, the list of guys on our defense who don't look very good right now isn't a short one.

The same reason why we started Moton on the left, Williams on the right then switched everything up after one series coming out of the bye. 

Man that was was the most asinine move we’ve made in a long time that one struck a nerve after Daley playing so well weeks prior. But I’m no coach so let me sit back and get ready to enjoy the show.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
